AGRICULTURAL

Facts end Figures Cleaned from the June
Returns of the Department. Of Agricult-
ure-Conditions Favorable for Abundant
Crops OF Cereals and Cotton.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The June re-
turns Of the Department Of Agriculture
indicate reduction Of nearly two per
cent in the area Of winter wheat. Changes
in acreage of States are very slight, ex-
cept in Kansas, where a red uction OF
twenty-five per cent. is reported, caused
by bad harvests and low prices. Inc
spring wheat area has been enlarged six
per cent. from increase of emigration ana
farm-making west Of the Mississippi In
the districts traversed by the Northern
Pacific railroad, Most Of the increase is
twenty-fonr per cent. The total area or
wheat is about thirty-seven million acres,
fraction of one per cent more than that
of the previous crop.
In the condition of winter wheat there
is no marked change. The average being
$40, reduction of nine-tenths of one
per cent. In 1886 the June average was
TAT. The reports of short straw are
very numerous. In some districts there
are indications that the yield of grain,
will be larger proportionally than OF
straw. If there is no increase from this
cause, the yield must be less than an av-
erage. The harvest is already in prog
ress up to the thlrty-eighth degree Of lati-
tude.
The condition of spring wheat is good in
Dakota, and the Territories westward, but
below average records in Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa and Nebraska. The general
average of spring wheat Is So 3-lower
than in recent years-but thirteen points
higher than in 1881. At harvesting last
year condition averaged 50. Dry weather

wheat Insects have committed greater
depredations than usual The central
belt westward from Pennsylvania and
Virginia has suffered local damage from
the hessian fly, and the chinch bug has.
wrought injury in Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas.
The area Of winter rye has been dimin-
ished over per cent, mainly by a
large reduction in Kansas. Condition 10.
better than that of wheat, as usual, av-
eraging $50.
An apparent enlargement of the barley
acreage of per cent. is indicated.
The increase is in Dakota, California,
Oregon and the Territories. Condition
averages 81, being slightly above that Of
wheat.
There is continuance Of the extension
of oat culture. The increase is per
cent. This crop has taken a part of the
area formerly in wheat in Kansas, Of 30
per cent over the acreage of last year.
This increase is large in the Northwest,
and there is tendency to enlargement in
all sections of the country.
In the acreage of cotton an incr ease OF
one per cent is reported. There appears
to be slight decline in the States Of the
Atlantic Coast, and an increase in the
States west of the Mississippi The State
averages are.

DANGEROUS Work.

HALIFAX, N. S., June 9-The govern
ment steamer Newfield, Captain Guild
ford, has returned from repairing the
Anticosti, Fox River, Bird Rock and
Magdalen Island cables. This last re-
pair was affected with much difficulty
and some danger. The shore end hangs
perpendicularly over cliff $50 feet high
and is of very heavy type, weighing
fourteen tons to the mile. While the
captain and thirteen men were replacing
about seventy-fve fathoms of damaged
cable with new the overhanglng
cliff appeared so threatening that
the men were ordered into the boats.
They had not been away five minutes
when thirty tons of rock fell from the top
of the cliff to the place where the men
had been at work.

DIR. Liebeault, from experiments in sever
ty-seven cases, was enabled to say that hyp-
motto treatment had been successful in cur
ing children, adults and aged persons of
weaknesses in connection with the natural
functions of the body. By means of sug-
gestion during induced sleep he was ena-
bled to re-establish the disturbed harmony
in every instance.
DR.. Berillon formulated the following
conclusions in regard to the use of hypno-
tism as an educating influence: That in
the treatment of children who are merely
indolent, indocile or mediocre the power
should be limited to verbal suggestion in
the wakeful state, the children being in
spired with the most perfect confidence
Each child should be isolated, and with a
hand placed upon its forehead, should be ad-
dressed in language indicating gentleness,
precision and patience. The hypnotic state
might be induced in the treatment of chill
dren who are inpulsive, refractory, incapa-
BILE of the least attention or application, and
manifesting an irresistible tendency toward
evil. During the hypnotic sleep the sugges-
tions have more power. They make pro-
found and desirable impression. 1t is posi-
BILE in many cases, by frequently repeating
them, to develop the faculty of attention in
subjects hitherto intractable, to correct bad
tendencies and to recall to virtue spirits
which otherwise would be hopelessly lost.

In large factory in which were employed
several hundred persons one of the work
men, in welding his hammer, carelessly al
lowed it to slip from his hand. 1t few half
way across the room and struck fellow
workman in the left eye. The man averred
that his eye was blinded by the blow, al
though careful examination failed to reveal
any injury, there being not a scratch visible.
He brought suit in the courts for compen-
sation for the loss of half of his eyesight,
and refused all offers OF compromise. Un-
der the law the owner Of the factory was re-
sponsible for an injury resulting from ac-
cident of this kind. The day of the trial ar
rived, and in open court an eminent ocu-
list retained by the defense examined the al
legged injured member and gave. it as his
opinion that it was as good as the right eye.
Upon the defendants loud protest of his in
ability to see with his left eye, the oculist
proved him perjurer and satisfied the court
and jury of the falsity of his claim. He
did it simply by knowing that the colors

Uses of Hypnetism i'm the Treatment

I'M L. Holbrook in the Herald of Health
At late meeting of the association OF
scientists at the congress Of Nancy, France,
nine papers were read by members, illustra.
ting in the most vivid terms various phases
of this subject. 1t had been found effective
in the cure of lunacy and in controlling the
natural habit of mind and strength of will
exhibited in normal state. M. Liegeois,
professor of law, in a summary of sugges-
tions, pointed to the danger of humanity
from the exercise of the hypnotic power.
The subject may be made the victim OF all
manner of hallucination, and be reduced to
| a condition in which he is incapable OF de-
| fense against criminal violence, and in which
the most serious acts committed against him
leave no impression upon his memory after
| he is recalled to the natural state. He may
receive suggestions tending to the commits
sion of any given crime or mlsdemeanor at,
| ter the lapse of several hours or days, and
| he will commit the act at the appointed time
with fatal certainty. The conclusions
were that the persons suggesting crime to a
